Well China’s basing their “second act” on how this goes.

Not too good so far.

What’s the weather over there? Ukraine turns into a sea of MUD in spring, restricting armor and even ordinary trucks to hard roads.

Fish in a barrel for Javelin missiles, which can be transported and fired by one man on foot. Range of two miles, it’s all but impossible to defend against them except by intense air coverage.

Which the Russians apparently don’t have, perhaps due to our Stingers?

A million rounds of 7.62x39 won’t hurt, but what they really need is Stingers and Javelins by the planeload.

And of course the NWO is not happy about it wither.

They want a new world order where Russia and China are the two major powers of it, and this isn’t what they want to see either.

The Russians, will spend the time, blood, and treasure to accomplish their mission, with or without Putin.

Strange, wishful thinking.

Do they know Putin's plan?

Putin's IT guys never fixed the telepathy hack.

Laugh now.

After the TechnoDicktaters prove they can deplatform a nation-state which possesses nuclear weapons, do you think you're going to be much of a challenge, peasant?

On your hands and knees like a good little chattel, you'll BEG to lick their beneficent hands...

That’s actually a very sober document. Thanks. He actually alluded to a point I make below, with respect to the Russo-Japanese War:

Re casualties, even the official Russian numbers are not good, if you take them at face value. Iraqi Freedom cost 173 American dead in 6 weeks. The Russian KIA count was 500 several days ago, a week after the invasion began. That is literally 18x the US rate on a weekly basis. And the Russians have (until Ukraine is pacified and absorbed) less than 1/2 the US population. In per capita terms, the Russians are taking roughly 40x the punishment per week that the US did in Iraq.

The US lost under 20 men a day in Vietnam. The Russians are losing 70 men a day in Ukraine. And that’s just the official Russian numbers. If you multiply by 2 to account for the usual Russian fiddling with numbers that gave Putin his $200b piggy bank ...

At minimum, morale might soon be a problem. Russians fought like demons in WWII for their lives. The Nazis literally wanted to kill them all:

Whereas other Russian wars have triggered mutinies.

It looks like the plan is to fix the forces in the East…

Then to encircle with a thrust down from Kkyiv and up from the Crimea.

Then isolate, starve and accept a mass surrender.

Speaking of forces in the east, if Putun suffers a humilliation it will be time for China to invade Russian territory it has long claimed in Siberia.
